		<description>Hi
I realize that you practice in California, but I just would like to ask a couple of questions.  We live in Massachusetts.  Unfortunately we where featured in Parade Magazine this past weekend.  Our story is complicated and long.  We recently sought the service of a mortgage auditor(not an attorney) to have our loans audited.  I was wondering if it might be best to seek an attorney for this.  She feels that we have the right to rescind our loans through Countrywide.  The problem is that she was sanctioned by a judge in Boston.  Also, would it be a real estate attorney and the chances that we might have in doing this or loan modification.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Dinmore</description>

		<description>OK, so what you are saying is that these loans&#160;that people got for the homes they purchased&#160;over the last 5 years are&#160;homes they can&#039;t afford? Didn&#039;t they have to &quot;qualify&quot; for these loans to buy the homes using underwriting guidelines that the lenders control to make sure that they can &quot;afford&quot; these mortgages that they would have to ultimately be responsible for?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Or were those fake loans that they had to qualify for using lending guidelines that are in place to make sure that money isn&#039;t given to people who can&#039;t &quot;afford&quot; to pay it back?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Most of the homeowners I speak with have paid their mortgage on time up until their loan adjusted. Yes, they new the risk of taking and adjustable mortgage, but they were told 99% of the time by licensed professionals, &quot;Don&#039;t worry in 2 years we&#039;ll just refinance you out of that terrible loan into a new fixed mortgage. Please, sign here sir.&quot; I bet if these same licensed professionals said, &quot;You&#039;ll never be able to get out of this toxic loan. The payment will go up 50% in two years and the bank will foreclose on you, ruining your credit for another 7 and kicking you, your wife, 3 kids, dog and goldfish on the street.&quot;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;How many people do you think would have taken the loan then? My guess is, is very few.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This is beyond that now. It&#039;s affecting our entire economy and it&#039;s just begun. If you want a full on recession, then I suggest Congress follow your path.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Oh, and it&#039;s beyond debt and collections. More people are being ruined credit wise by this then anytime in history. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;</description>

		<description>You need to accept what you can afford AND what you cannot afford.&lt;br /&gt;Borrowing on credit cards to pay a payment on a house that you may owe more on than it is worth is just foolish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foreclosure usually equals about 6 months of free rent.  Until then, pay off the credit cards with that money and then find someplace to live that you can afford.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Living in a house isn&#039;t a right, sorry.&lt;br /&gt;If you don&#039;t have any equity in a house, you don&#039;t have anything anyway, except a very expensive rent payment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sorry that you are in a tight situation, but it&#039;s not right to blame anbody else for your debts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh ya.. don&#039;t pay off 5 year old medical collections, it will lower your credit score if you do.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the compliment!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;A broken (ARM) . I like that analogy &lt;img src=&quot;http://loanworkout.org/emoticons/smile.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt; A rate decrease will do nothing for most of the homeowners that are in these adjustable rate mortgages. Underwriting guidelinEs now are just too tough. A rate cut by the fed isn&#039;t going to fix these broken ARM&#039;s. We need mandated loan modifications to happen.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The loan programs of the past are gone and I don&#039;t see any new, innovative refinance programs coming out anytime soon. So let&#039;s hope congress makes lenders fix these toxic ARM&#039;s fast!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Best of Luck!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Moe&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;P&gt;I&#039;m glad you can relate to my post &lt;img src=&quot;http://loanworkout.org/emoticons/smile.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Who is your boss? Seems like he somewhat know what to do in these situations. Even though it was a little extreme. &lt;img src=&quot;http://loanworkout.org/emoticons/wink.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt; However the claims of the foreclosure not being reported are terrible advice. I have never seen a foreclosure not reported. Also, walking money to do a deed in lieu with your lender, is something I haven&#039;t seen either. I have heard about it and I know it has happened in the past but not now. Imagine if everyone said, &quot;We&#039;re walking away and we&#039;ll make it easy on you, if you just give us some cash to do so.&quot; 2 million people would be at their enders door step waiting for checks. I just don&#039;t see this approach happening at all.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Have you looked into the &lt;a href=&quot;hhttp://www.loansafe.org/forum/showthread.php?t=87&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;FHA Secure&lt;/A&gt; loan? Or just an FHA refinance? What state are you in?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Join my forum at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.loansafe.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.LoanSafe.org&lt;/A&gt; and let your voice be heard!

		<description>Very good piece Moe,if you were excepting votes, you would have mine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also have a(broken)ARM,and I was wondering when and if the rates are lowered on 9-18,what range would I be looking at if by some chance I were to have my loan modified? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only way I see keeping my loan/home is if the lender shows mercy and offers me a really a good rate,but I just don&#039;t see these lenders bending over backwards to give us adequate assistance. Moe,what are your thoughts   in regards to a best possible rate scenario or range, both  &lt;br /&gt;now and perhaps after the 18th? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could tell you this much,some of these lenders are already talking about loan programs that might be available on the 18th. But unless my monthly mortgage /rate is affordable,it does me no good in the long run. Your,thoughts?</description>

		<description>You speak out of my heart. I am still current on my ARM but think that this is the last month. I have tried to go to my boss to ask for a raise which I did not get even I am his ass in the hole (&quot;I would fire everybody just to keep you-blah&quot;)but he gave me &quot;good&quot; advise: &quot;Listen you do exactly as I say: You ask for a loan modification and say if you don&#039;t get it you will walk out. If they really don&#039;t lower and stabilize your rate then walk out and before thats reported to your credit you&#039;ll buy another real estate and say its investment property. As soon as you have this other place with lower interest rate they can&#039;t take it from you and you move in. And the foreclosure of your house with the ARM probably will not even be reported and if it will you tell&#039;em that you give them 3000 Dollars if they remove the bad data from your credit report. They will do that because 3k is better than nothing. And buy the way just buy something close to my office &quot;(my work is 70 miles from my house)&quot; so you can work more&quot; -underpaid- &quot;overtime.&quot;&lt;BR&gt; &lt;BR&gt;I called also mortgage brokers which want 3-4 points and can give me an interest rate between 7-11%-but you see the 11 percent is a fixed rate!-A fixed rate I can&#039;t pay and is nearly as high as the max on my ARM!&lt;BR&gt;The other scenario is to pay my 5 year old medical collections from when I broke my neck without health insurance because my boss back then was to cheap to offer some. (I broke my neck on the way to work-by the way-fell asleep in the car because I was overworked)-But I would have to pay that in cash because the value of my house dropped so I can&#039;t get cash-out which is 90% LTV. Another company says NO because my husband owes child support -which we are paying timely since 3 years.&lt;BR&gt; &lt;BR&gt;Another company says my 590 credit score is too low even though my husband has a 660 credit score. My score is low because I have used money from credit cards to pay the mortgage on time. Denied because to high of a debt ratio. But the loan modification does not seem to take credit card debt into account-so I did not here the decision yet I am waiting they said they would call in a few days but nobody did call-but I can see they might say we make enough money or to little. But we can complain and complain but what can we do to change that? Where can I go which group to join-there must be a way-that is America!</description>

		<description>A-MEN.  I totally agree.  These so-called educated, power/hungry people running the financial side of our country are putting us, the middle class-working our ass off-people, into poverty.  We are working to try and pay for a loan that we used to be able to afford and now can&#039;t.  We are the working class and I am sure we outnumber the financially secure people who don&#039;t have the same problem as we all do.  That is why we can&#039;t get anything done.  Because they look down on us, they are too good to help scum like us.  I called wonderful countrywide home loans today to ask them to modify my ridiculous loan.  I tried to talk to someone in loss mititgation but got hung up on twice.  I tried to get to the right person, but got transferred to someone who has no jurisdiction to do anything.  It ended up in her calmly telling me, &quot;I was outta luck&quot;  and &quot;we honestly want to help but our hands are tied by law&quot;.  What law?  there is no law, they do whatever they want!  It must be the law of trying to squeeze every last dime out of you.  So basically I can&#039;t refinance the stupid loan with anyone else because of my shot credit, because of this loan.  And it is scheduled to go up every six months.  In the meantime every credit card I have is maxed out and I am using it to pay the house payment.  But now I have nothing left.  If my loan was at a set amount every month where it started out 2 years ago, I&#039;d be fine.  But it has gone up over a thousand dollars since then.  I could go on and on about my situation.  The point is, I just am sick of getting the life sucked out of me by this house payment.  The only option I have is to walk away. I told them that too, but they don&#039;t care.  All of these people in positions to do something won&#039;t. It seems like they don&#039;t even think twice about the people building this country, the ones literally breaking their backs and sweating like pigs to build all the very comfortable offices they work in and homes they live in. They seem to only be concerned with their wealth and well being.  But they don&#039;t realize that our country is ready to go down in flames and the lifestyles they enjoy will come to an end if nothing is done about this huge problem. We are teatering on the brink of really bad stuff happening to our economy.  I am not any finiancial expert, but I see the changes in my own town and know things aren&#039;t looking good. How hard would it be to work with the people who have been struggling to pay these outrageous monthly payments,on time, every month.Why can&#039;t they take a bit of a cut, which I am sure won&#039;t be too bad on them, and agree with those of us who have been current on our loans each month and work things out to help us stay in our homes and save the economy by doing a modification and we can all get back to trying to live our lives before the greediness got the best of us? This is a tradgedy and needs to be addressed by people who care and who can make these laws make the lenders do something!This is AMERICA!</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A-MEN.  I totally agree.  These so-called educated, power/hungry people running the financial side of our country are putting us, the middle class-working our ass off-people, into poverty.  We are working to try and pay for a loan that we used to be able to afford and now can&#8217;t.  We are the working class and I am sure we outnumber the financially secure people who don&#8217;t have the same problem as we all do.  That is why we can&#8217;t get anything done.  Because they look down on us, they are too good to help scum like us.  I called wonderful countrywide home loans today to ask them to modify my ridiculous loan.  I tried to talk to someone in loss mititgation but got hung up on twice.  I tried to get to the right person, but got transferred to someone who has no jurisdiction to do anything.  It ended up in her calmly telling me, &#8220;I was outta luck&#8221;  and &#8220;we honestly want to help but our hands are tied by law&#8221;.  What law?  there is no law, they do whatever they want!  It must be the law of trying to squeeze every last dime out of you.  So basically I can&#8217;t refinance the stupid loan with anyone else because of my shot credit, because of this loan.  And it is scheduled to go up every six months.
